I've had this phone for 2 months now, I use it pretty much the way you do (including some facebook and a few sms's) and I get more than 2 days out of it!!

Follow this guide, and if you re can, flash the Leedroid ROM.

You will not believe the difference in performance and battery. :D
[Desire HD General] risteard3:
Hi. I got my desire HD back in November and struggled to get 12 hours from it. So last week I rooted it and installed setCPU, set it to 768mhz I think and now I get 24 hours from battery!

That's my advice anyways
[Desire HD General] lejars1:
Thank you for all the interest I am receiving with this.

I've installed current widget. As I reactivate the screen display back on it shows me a discharge of about 2Ma - very good.

With the screen on and no activity the discharge is about 257 Ma - very bad and it doesn't take much to get this up to over 350Ma - disastrous.

I've been considering rooting it but I have asked this initial question and don't have an answer as yet:- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970565
[Desire HD General] RobSimmo:
If you install Watchdog Lite from the Market you can see what is using your CPU and how much percentage of it is Idle. It could be possible that even though you are closing apps, they are still running in the background, especially with those on screen figures of 350, there's definitely something wrong there. For example, I have a game called iMobsters that even though I close it it runs in the background afterwards for at least an hour using up an average of 35% CPU which of course will run the battery down.

I'm Orange from UK and there was quite a bit of bloatware which was the main reason for me to root my phone. I'm unsure on your software version though. However if you follow the guide to root it as normal without downgrading, you'll know if you need to downgrade as Visionary+ won't be able to root it otherwise.

Rooting does help to uninstall apps you don't use too using Titanium Backup, for example, I uninstalled Friend Stream, News, Stocks, Twitter, Orange Services which all run in the background usually and run down battery.

Without playing too many games, I can get two days use out of mine now.
[Desire HD General] lejars1:
Yes, maybe I should bite the bullet on the rooting. Is it undoable?

There is a lot of advice about it on this forum. Which is the best set of instructions to look for and after that which is the best ROM?
[Desire HD General] lejars1:
Also, I can't find Watchdog Lite on the Market. Doesn't seem to be there. Do you have a link?

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/25/htc-thunderbolt-said-to-have-terrible-battery-life-might-explai/

Apparently a few sources that "are familiar with these things" have said the reason for the delays (the reason the release date has been pushed back) is because horrible battery issues and signal problems. Most likely interconnected (much like the Evo at launch). Apparently (it's in the article) people that are using the internet connection at all are draining their batteries from full to dead in only 2-3 hours.

The update says the release date has actually been pushed back 6 times already because of this issue. That means the phone probably would have launched in late December or January if it were working the way it was intended.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
Lies, the phone is shipped out already. There is no delay

Just was originally going to be released in march
[Thunderbolt General] popular nobody:
I've mentioned before that it was a huge battery hog, but it's nothing that was described by those sources "in the know." It went gold in early January.
[Thunderbolt General] iwanaleya:
Yeah you sure? I have $20 that your source is just as reliable and workign on conjecture just like everyone else out there right now.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
Yep.

The local Best Buy manager let me look at a box, although I was not allowed to open it and play wth the phone. He said he has no idea when he can sell them, but he has them. A couple of dozen is what I saw.

I saw them Monday or Tuesday. So they could have gone on sale this week it seems.

That said, Engadget mentioned a new firmware may be coming, as a day 1 patch or what? Would the sales people have to do the update before letting customers walk out with it? Supposedly to fix a radio/battery issue.
[Thunderbolt General] RaptorMD:
Its always "People familiar with the matter" how about those people grow a pair and come out on the record, simple because its easier to spread rumor than go on record without proof.
[Thunderbolt General] popular nobody:
Can't speak for everyone, but that's not happening when you are under an NDA. The companies actually strategically leak out info themselves, so why the **** am I signing this again? Regardless, I've witnessed people getting into serious trouble with their jobs, just so they could be another internet sensation. This is why I'm amazed when BMX, and other "insiders" are publicly known for it, yet still have their jobs.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
I guess you haven't heard of astroturfing? Just because they claim to be insiders and "leaks" doesn't mean the company doesn't secretly condone or support it. What better way to get easy publicity than to have an employee claim to be acting on their own releasing rumors or "inside information" instead of a stuffy corporate press release.

So, I work at a BB. Neither my store nor any other of the 15 or so stores in our district has these things in stock yet. This isn't the first I've seen of people saying that stores are sitting on them, but knowing for a fact that a good chunk of stores really DON'T have them has me wondering about the legitimacy of people claiming to have seen them...

[Thunderbolt General] 06ms6:
Ermm, when I worked at Best Buy Mobile I got $11/hour plus bonuses (BBM department gets monthly bonuses). My monthly average worked out to about $12.50-14.00 an hour. Considering all the benefits (discounts from manufacturers and $20/month cell phone plans) it's not a bad racket.

Your last sentence makes you seem unnecessarily bitter.
[Thunderbolt General] ipsomatic:
exactly where i knew it was going :)

best buy (as alluded to above) is good for one thing; going to see the product in person (if they carry the actual matching model, and not an exclusive model) then go to buy it on the internets.

i have held seminars (as a walk-in customer) with their PC and HT departments explaining technologies (the manager just gathers everyone around so he didnt have to be held accountable for not remembering what HDMI stood for, or the contrast between an analog and digital signal, or actually didnt have the sophistication to do so).

yes there are always outliers, but majority reigns @ bb "here is an average boy, see this line just under that, that is your boy, mrs. gump"

if there were no evil in this world, would we want any good?
[Thunderbolt General] Essenar:
Couldn't be any further from the truth.

There's a difference between someone getting paid .25 over minimum and someone who knows how to negotiate pay.

I was hired by Best Buy in September 2007 at a starting pay of $10.25 an hour. That was $2.25 above minimum wage that year in California. Maybe you missed the 2 in your figure? After my 90 day evaluation, I was making $11.00. Basically, I outsold everyone on the sales floor, sold PSP's (they're called Black Tie Protection now), counter service, on-site service, accessories and built relationships with local shoppers. When they offered me a 25 cent raise at my 90 day, I said "I want $11 or I walk..." they didn't want to make up the numbers they'd lose from me.

By the time I quit in February 2009, I was making $12.00 an hour. If I stayed, I would've been promoted to a senior and been above $15-18 an hour at least.

I'm also a UCSD undergraduate studying Chemical Engineering in my sophomore/junior year. I wasn't the highest paying lower level employee I knew either. My friend is a comp sci major working at Best Buy and his starting wage was $2.50 higher per hour than some of the seniors in his department. They don't know about it.

Managers want the ignorant employees to think wages are equal and everyone gets paid garbage. The truth is, NBA isn't the only place some people make more money than their coworkers.

SO let's not jump to conclusions about what type of people work at Best Buy. I agree with people who dislike BB's practices, but let's not insult the employees.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
This forum would be a much better place if there wasn't people like this that think they are smarter than everyone else and like to put people down for absolutely no reason.
[Thunderbolt General] Joe92T:
Whoever that guy is saying people at bestbuy make minimum wage is a moron, I work for mobile myself and make in the teens for hourly rate, aswell as being bonus eligible, its not a bad setup for a fulltime college student
[Thunderbolt General] Magicadder:
I worked for best buy ( once upon a very dark time ).... and it is correct that they do lie to their employees about pay... it didn't used to be this way.. back in '05 -'06 best buy was an ok place to work... morals were high... and they had competition ( circuit city, comp usa ).. and they paid their employed well.

For example I was a DCI ( geek squad sup ) making $22hr.

But once circut closed and they had no more major competition ( I wont state frys ele as a competition bcuz they are not national ) they changed their policies... downsized their staff and everyone took a pay cut or got laid off.

So now bby thinks they are untouchable ( which they allmost are ) and can get away with low pay beacuse the economy sucks and people are willing to do anything to get by.

And yes.... not everyone who works for best buy is an idiot... just most of them.

Now.... im an I.T. admin / web developer making 3x what I did at bby...

So the moral of the story is... if you want to get ahead in life... don't work retail.... get a degree and use it!

general question : x10i is now officially EOL (End of Life), what would you like to buy as a "new" smartphone ?

I'm thinking about the LG Optimus 3D, awesome :p (but still weird things : no 2.3, 10MP pictures possible?, multitouch?...)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Gasp, got hit ;)

This is a general discussion, not a Q&A but nevermind :confused:

I would say the same : not Sony Ericsson anymore... It was definitely a great manufacturer (my last phone was gorgeous), but now they're acting just like Apple, damn... :'(

LG (as I'm planning to get an Optimus 3D) is not great about up-to-date Android, but it looks they're learning their mystakes :)

About tabs, I have a jailbroken iPad, but Motorola Xoom looks nice (also they're preparing a free bootloader !!!!!!). Tired of getting stuck on Flash content, playing pirates with Apple stoopid blocking, etc etc... That's why I've left away my iPhone 3G to buy a x10...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjems:
I love Sony Ericsson CameraPhones. That's why i chose the X10i, and that's why i'll probably (certainly) take another SE phone after that. It is true the 2.1 marathon for a whole semester sucked but, the phone is still making great pictures.

And have you seen the demo of the EOS captor in the next generation devices: it seems to see just like human eye!

PS: I really do hope for future products they get quicker on updates. The shipping version of Arc in a few weeks should be a good indication.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Mmmmmh not sure, Google stock app gives better results than SE app... And when I compare quality with my girlfriend's low cost camera, we eventually have medium quality...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunarjetman1:
Yep, I still love the look and expensive feel of the x10. I've been installing the custom roms generous people have been releasing which increased the speed. I'd steer clear of Iphones. Think the arc is next for me.

I thought I read somewhere it was possible to make any kernal sbc? Can someone tell me how? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
You'd need the kernel's source code, plus the SBC patch for the source code.

Then you would need to compile the kernel and make a flashable ZIP file to upload to the phone.

I think a good portion of the kernels that have source available already have SBC available.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heiNey:
Can't ask this in the ROM forum cuz i have less than 10 posts.

here's hoping workshed sees this.

I just put 1.7 on my eris and everything works fine. thanks for the rom!

my problem is that bluetooth doesn't work. whenever i try to turn on bluetooth, it just turns itself off. i can't even start the pairing process. i click the check box and then it says 'turning on' for a minute, and then the phone looks like nothing happened and returns back to how it was before i tried turning on the bluetooth.

i haven't seen anyone else complain about this, so i guess it's just me, but i have no idea how to fix it. i wiped dalvik-cache three times and wiped data/cache before installing the rom. I then installed gapps mini and cache2cache scripts.

i don't think i did anything wrong.

any ideas?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaze06:
I can't give you a rhyme or reason, but when in doubt, wipe data, wipe dalvik, wipe data again, check MD5 sum, and reflash.

nope, so far I haven't had any problems with the touchscreen

No issues here. Last phone was an Epic 4G and they are about the same.
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
I had some issues with catching the space bar on the keyboard at first, but I think that was just me... haven't really noticed any issues for the last couple days. I feel like the screen is generally pretty responsive. I'd say it's better than the screen on my 3GS.
[Atrix 4G General] ronj1986:
I have problems tapping space bar frequently when using keyboard in a landscape position
[Atrix 4G General] joewoo:
its super responsive... it registers my touch when my finger barely hovers the screen...
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
I think I kind of got used to the position. I also ended up getting the gingerbread keyboard app which helps a lot since you can change the keyboard size and spacing. I only had problems in landscape, like you mentioned. Don't really have any issues now.

That's how it is for me... I've actually had quite a few instances where I accidentally hit something because my finger was too close or something.
[Atrix 4G General] 2015Ducatimulti:

[Atrix 4G General] jsm0372:
I agree, if anything it's too responsive. Almost like it's trying to predict what I'm going to select. It can be annoying at times b/c I barely hover the screen and an app launches.

For the person asking the question, are you using a screen protector? I know those have a way of reducing the sensitivity of the touch screen.
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
Very responsive, far more than iphone 3g. As others have said I had issues with the space bar in landscape mode but keyboardpro helped a lot.
[Atrix 4G General] fade1d:
I think one reason I would think it isn't responsive is because I can't type as fast on the atrix as I could on my inspire and nexus s
[Atrix 4G General] Minjin:
I agree that it is very dull. My dad just bought one and I set it up for him and showed him how to use it. If people think it is responsive, they haven't tried something like the Evo that will activate buttons with the slightest of contact.

Hopefully an update will fix it.

[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
I, too, came from an iPhone 4.... and the only issue i find is that i seem to make a fair bit more typos than i remember on the iPhone 4. Then again.... i don't find the Atrix auto-correcting much of anything... let alone the most annoying crap.

Sensitivity seems just fine to me. If you can launch an app with just enough of a touch that you barely feel yourself actually touching the screen.... i'd say it's doing quite well with the sensitivity.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
Yes this is exactly what I mean. I came from the captivate with 2.2 cognition installed. I was very proficient at typing on that. This thing doesn't seem to be as accurate to pick up my letter taps. REALLY hope the update fixes that and the fact that it doesn't play MP4's like it's supposed to.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
No... i think it's accurate.... it just doesn't have any form of auto-correct. It has the same style of keyboard as the iPhone, in that you can slide to the proper letter... which i think is where some of my typos are coming from. Finger is not quite off the phone before i move to the next letter.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
I'm not sure that I feel the same way; there are times where I don't even feel my finger touch the screen and I'm getting feedback.

Very responsive and accurate for me. However, it did take me a few hours to get used to typing on the keyboard.

Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)

Rooted Atrix
[Atrix 4G General] Nubz0r:
Bumping this because I'd like to see if others have this issue also.

I have found the Atrix to be extremely responsive while typing--everything except for the space bar. I can literally hover my finger just above a letter and it will register, but there is something about the space bar that only seems to give me issues from time-to-time (intermittent problem?).

I'm using the stock keyboard in portrait view.
